Nichols Stolen Horse Abandoned by Orchard Thieves
Four young men stole pears and apples from Nichols avenue orchards, abandoned their horse and wagon after being chased by Clarence Cooper, and fled into nearby woods. Constable Miller recovered the horse and wagon from Sterling Delivery Stables, while neighbors were advised to join forces to catch thieves. Local orchards face ongoing night raids, and a plan urged residents to report quickly and avoid single-handed captures.
